Whenever I have a specific occasion - dinner with friends or an event - it's always when I don't know what to wear or don't feel like wearing anything.  So, when in doubt, go with all black. It never fails. I always start with an easy foundation - in this case a suede skort and silk camisole and then finish with sleek outerwear. This trench from Misha Collection instantly dresses up any look with it's slight sheen and touches of hardware. It's so effortless.

My other obsessions recently are these Tony Bianco booties and Henri Bendel.  Pointy-toe sock booties are definitely a trend this season and they work easily with dressy outfits as well as jeans.
And a classic black bag is an essential in every wardrobe. This Henri Bendel West 57th Double Pocket Carryall really does carry all. It doesn't get more classic than this.
